The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients (P.S.)
Customer Reviews:
Validated, inspired, challenged and entertained
By Tw Rutledge "Thom Rutledge, author of Embraci... - January 27, 2002Twenty years ago when I read Irvin Yalom's Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, I knew that I wanted to be a psychotherapist. These 20 years later, reading The Gift of Therapy, I am reminded that I made an excellent choice.Irv Yalom's "open letter to a new generation of therapists and their patients" speaks to three essential aspects of myself: the psychotherapist, the human being, and the writer.As a psychotherapist I am validated for thinking outside the traditional boxes and challenged to keep learning with every client I see. Yalom offers everything from specific suggested questions to ask clients to the wisdom of his experience such as "therapy should not be theory-driven, but relationship-driven," and "though the physicality of death destroys us, the idea of death can save us."As a human being I am reminded that there is seldom --- if ever --- only one valid explanation for how we become who we are. And I am enlightened by Yalom's reminder of Paul Tilich's list... read more
The Gift of Therapy
By Suzanne Retzinger - December 16, 2003The Gift of Therapy
by Irvin Yalom, M.D.
Reviewed by Suzanne M. Retzinger, Ph.D. Waiting for my brother to complete his three-hour dialysis, I browsed the bookshelf provided for the waiting. I came across Love's Executioner and read it for the first time. I had read Yalom's Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy text in grad school - like all requirements. Now he grabbed me by the shoulders and forced me to listen - inspired, I had to read more and found The Gift of Therapy (2003, Perennial edition; 263 pages $12.95). Yalom is the first, of many that I've read on the therapeutic relationship, who doesn't "talk" about the therapeutic relationship - but "shows" it - a path for the bold to venture, a real connection between therapist and patient. My interest in his work lies in his openness about his own feelings and how he uses them therapeutically. Nothing, he says, "takes precedence over care and maintenance of my relationship to the patient,... and how... read more
Bite Sized Therapy Nugs
By My Uncle Stu - November 18, 2005Psychiatry residency is challenging in a different way than other medical specialties. Medical school prepares you for the medical aspects of psychiatry, specifically the neuroscience and pharmacology. But for therapy, medical schools barely touch on it. Things that help are being in therapy yourself, or having at least been in therapy, as well as seeking out really good supervision. Good books help too. But picking up those first couple patients is scary and the PGY-2 year is too exhausting to spend hours and hours reading up on the art of therapy. Yalom's "The Gift of Therapy" was given to me by one of my chief residents during my PGY-2 year and was very helpful. I've since had time to read more of Yalom's works and have enjoyed many of his therapeutic tales as well as his group therapy primer, but for where I was at that time, "The Gift of Therapy" was just what the doctor ordered. The key is extremely short chapters. It's a book that can be by the bedside (or stuffed in a... read more
